    Modify Handlebars on BMC Alpenchallenge AMP City One

    A big fan here of the BMC E-bikes. Hope you get yourself in the comfort zone you are looking for. Many good options mentioned above. The Redshift looks like a great product to start with in addition to giving you more comfort upfront with you ride. Ravi has always had great advice for everyone...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    I am experimenting with HB width. My eMTB has stock 780mm bars, which seem okay. I am taking off approx 1/2 inch from each side to see how that feels. Either way, i think it should be okay. My reach seems comfortable along with an adjustable stem, so I'll see if I notice a change in comfort. My...

    Ducati Announces e-MTB

    No kidding. More of an art piece to be displayed under lights in someone's living room. Look but don't touch.:rolleyes:

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Yes, I concur. Bought the Edge 800 at the beginning of riding season and will never look back. Very user friendly and it always delivers on the fly. Cateyes served their purpose, however, it was time to move on to bigger tech in this space.

    bike stand for maintenance for an ebike

    Okay thanks for the heads up! I have been going to HF on/off for years and most of the items purchased met my satisfaction with reliability. For other tools, my goto has usually been Craftsmen. For example, anything with a ratchet seems to hold up quite well and can take a beating.

    Schwalbe Smart Sam: Tyres That Are Silent On-Road And Quite Aggressive Off-Road

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Sometimes you never know what you are getting into with Amazon suppliers. Just recently had a similar experience. Had to dispute it on my Visa and they took care of the whole shabang! ;) BTW-Big fan of the Smart Sams Plus. Look like a very well made tire...

    bike stand for maintenance for an ebike

    Thanks for your update. I also have knobbies and was planning on purchasing the wheel rollers for back wheel cleaning/chain lube work. Looks like I will go with what FlatSix has referenced with his Moto stand. Seems very stable, quick and easy method opposed to doing the knobbies over rollers.

    bike stand for maintenance for an ebike

    Sure thing! My next trip out to my local store will allow me to pick it up along with other useful tools. They have great prices on Pittsburg full hex wrench sets. Well made and fast in/out service.

    Bought an Ebike from a "Popular Wisconsin Dealer"

    "6 bikes"- I remember seeing a picture with you and Lenny standing side by side with one of your 6 purchases. Glad to see another satisfied customer indeed moving forward! Great for his business model.

    Bulls Iconic Evo TR1 SPEED 2021 review

    Nice full suspension commuter. Very good choice. Wish I had that bike while vacationing in that region in SF/ Sausalito last year instead of taking tour buses etc. Looks like the perfect ride for getting around. Love the background in your images. Ride safe!

    Received a Call From LBS on Battery Order

    I like the sound of this. No experience in this space, however, I hope you keep us posted on the outcome. Can always use an extra battery during long summer rides. More for less is got our name on it, good luck!

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Yes, you are correct. SunRace rear cassette came stock on my eMTB (11-40t) which performs quite well. Very reasonably priced on Ebay. Good to know! ;)

    bike stand for maintenance for an ebike

    Great! I have to say the "Wheel Roller Stand" caught my attention immediately. It would probably be the most practical for my current needs. I also see that Harbor Freight carries a similar design for a few dollars less. Seems like the perfect solution for doing light maintenance.

    Zen Samurai Diamond

    Ravi-You are spot on! Kinda funny you mention all this. I took a backseat on my BH Jet since having the FS 10.0 Haibike. The bike is so kick a$$!! Finally got the Jet out the entire month of Sept this year moving forward. An entirely different riding experience, however I think having both...

    Bought an Ebike from a "Popular Wisconsin Dealer"

    Hello- I am quite curious what the outcome was to this mess with CL. I did not see any other posts after the fact. Hope it all works out for you!

    Bought an Ebike from a "Popular Wisconsin Dealer"

    "I guess that I have been very fortunate so far. Have purchased 3 e-bikes from CL's, and have always been treated with full respect (have worked over the phone with Lenny, the lady in sales, and John via email). All bikes arrived in perfect cosmetic and working order, and I have yet to have...

    Zen Samurai Diamond

    Yeah, seems like we are seeing more copy cats coming out slowly. Just waiting for them to become a bit more affordable to have as a secondary commuter.
